    Product Highlights

    Glyceryl esters are 100% naturally derived from glycerol and fatty acids, making them readily biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The glycerol group can be esterified with one, two, or three fatty acids to form monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides. All components are derived from select natural fats and seed oils to provide the desired physical and performance properties.

    Glyceryl esters are used as base stocks, lubricity additives and emulsifiers in industrial, automotive and metalworking applications. They are also widely used as plasticizers, antistats, antifogging agents and processing aids in plastic manufacturing, as well as dispersing aids, defoamers and emollients in personal care and cosmetic applications Synthetic esters are available in a wide variety of viscosity grades and deliver an excellent combination of oxidative stability, low temperature fluidity, lubricity and high viscosity index in greases formulated with high performance thickeners. Low volatility and a favorable eco-toxicity profile make synthetic esters an excellent choice for greases that are used in outdoor partial loss applications or in environmentally sensitive areas. Food processing lubricants are nonfood compounds that can be used in applications where incidental food contact is possible. Acceptable lubricants approved for incidental food contact applications are listed in the H1 category by NSF International, following FDA guideline 21.CFR 178.3570.
